Dave Myers of Winfosoft Inc. who made the sale said “We identified early on in the sales process that Jaleels required functionality specific to Food and Beverage manufacturing and distribution. Being able to provide Jaleels with Flintfox’s latest TPM solution set - Trade+ was important in helping us win what was a highly competitive bid. When we’ve implemented at Jaleels they will have a full featured Trade Management solution that will make many larger companies envious. We are confident that our company can continue to win opportunities requiring advanced pricing or complete management of trade promotions when presenting the Flintfox Trade+ module.”
